A PEEK AT THE SHOW

Here we are at the Rayne Frog Festival in Rayne, Louisiana. All set up for the festival goers. That's Tina sitting in center of the booth. We set it up this way on Friday and like most women, by Saturday we had it all rearranged. These are a few of the cards and magnets Tina made for the show. Very nice.
My pendants. I sold a few.
Sold a few of the lampwork beads, also. The ladies that purchased them were so excited with the ones they selected.
Earrings for sale.
My clay pendants and pretty candle holders.
Merry old Saint Nick.
Lacey's gift boxes. She calls them Bogs. They are recycled boxes (cereal, bread crumbs, etc.) that she paints and embellishes. They are the cutest things you ever saw.
More stuff.

A feather wreath I made. Lots of red here.
A paperback book wreath I made. I saw this on one of the blogs and tried it. My hubby, daughter, and Lacey all felt it needed the bow. Lots of comments on this at the show. It was definitely a "I Hate It or Love It" thing.

The show would not be called a success as for as how much we made, but was a learning lesson for all three of us. I know we will do better next time.

Clay Charms

Rainy today. Sitting looking out the study window thinking how happy I am that I can stay inside working on one of my recent projects.

I wasn't sure what to do with the charms at first. I then decided to attach each one to a chain necklace. I find they look pretty. I have a friend that would not look kindly on my imperfect charms, but I like that they are not perfect. Just like I am not perfect. Fits me to a "T".
I just removed from the oven a whole batch of fleur de lis and frog charms. The frogs are for the Frog Festival which is on November 13 & 14. I have a booth there, so whoever can come by, please come say hello.

Do you remember the post about the painting I received years ago and had tracked down the original owner. Well, we are meeting tomorrow morning at a local coffee house. I can not wait to meet them. What an exciting thing. I have spoken to her on the phone, by email and by text. Sandi seems to be a really nice young woman. She is excited about finally receiving the gift she has waited a very long time for. Will give you updates and photos tomorrow.
